Wolfsnail Photography “Marvelous”
December 5th, 2008 | 
Author: In her blog, In the Pages, a youth services librarian in Orange City, Iowa, called Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator “a great one.” She goes on: “there is just enough print to keep it fresh but not too many words that it gets too long for little ones. It didn’t strike me at first as a book that would “catch” me and lure me in, but once you get started, you will be amazed.” She called the photography “marvelous.”

Man, you get around the country, don’t you? Keep those cards and letters coming.

Hi Sarah,
I just reviewed Wolfsnail yesterday on my blog, Pink Me. I hope you don’t take it the wrong way – I am sincere in my admiration for your book. I’m just a silly person sometimes.
I wish all species monographs for early elementary students were written from firsthand observation. Too often they’re just churned-out formulaic dumbed-down rehashes of Grzimek’s.
wonderful work!
Thank you for your attention to my work. I’m glad it came through that we LOVE our snails. You might want to visit the books and stories section of my website to view the slideshow we put together — telling the book’s backstory.
